YugabyteDB is a distributed database designed for high availability and performance, allowing administrators to deploy replicas in independent fault domains for improved resilience. The database supports efficient, multi-TB backups and restores under heavy read and write workloads, outperforming eventually consistent databases like Apache Cassandra. YugabyteDB's per-shard distributed consensus architecture enables lightweight checkpoint mechanisms, reducing the impact of backups on foreground operations. The database can be configured to use a cloud object storage endpoint such as AWS S3 or an NFS location for backup stores, and supports table-level backups and restores. A 6-node cluster was used as a source for backups and restores, with two scenarios tested: one during a write-heavy workload and the other during a read-heavy workload. In both cases, no major impact on foreground operations was observed, and restore operations were completed within expected times without significant performance penalties. The database's design advantages ensure highly reliable and repeatable backup/restore operations for mission-critical clusters with zero data loss.
